A/N: Quadruple drabble.
Tollan technology is light years ahead of anything earth has, or anything the SG teams have even seen in their travels through the Stargate. Earth could certainly use some of the devices they have, but the Tollan aren’t open to sharing. In fact, their leader, Omoc, is quite rude, calling the population of earth ‘primitive’. From the Tollan standpoint, it might well be true, but it’s hardly tactful to insult the people who just saved the few Tollan survivors from fiery death.
Then again, Omoc is blunt-speaking, and sees no reason not to be brutally honest. All he wants is to take his people and return to the planet he was just rescued from, something that isn’t possible. The volcanic action is only getting worse, and soon the gate will be buried under molten lava. Returning, even if the gate could be opened, would be suicide, superior technology or not.
So the Tollan use their technology to pass right through the SGC’s walls, making their way to the surface to study the night sky. Not that it helps them any. The new Tollan homeworld is too far away for any hope of a rescue ship arriving in their lifetime. The only possibility is to find another world the Tollan can settle, somewhere that might prove more acceptable than earth. The only problem is, all the worlds that have been visited so far are even more primitive than earth.
Except for one.
The Nox are, if anything, technologically superior even to the Tollan, but they buried their gate after SG-1 left. Still, Daniel suggests them anyway. Despite Omoc’s suspicions, Daniel stands firm. This is the last and only hope the Tollan people have, and he has to make them understand that. Their lives and their freedom depend on it. It’s a good thing Daniel is as stubborn as Omoc.
A message is sent, and the Nox, being the kind, generous, and above all peaceful people they are, send for the Tollan.
It’s good to see Lya again; her sweet smile warms Daniel inside and he can’t help but smile back at her. This is going to work out, nothing can prevent the Tollan from going with their new friends, the Nox are too powerful. Their technology is more like magic than anything else.
The Stargate opens, weapons vanish, and then so do the Tollan. Daniel can’t help feeling a little smug.
The End
